“Brooke was wonderful! I had to find a new pet sitter at the last minute because my super-senior cat got put on some new medication for the first time and my previous sitter didn’t have any experience with pilling a cat. Brooke jumped right in and never hesitated. Since my girl had recently been really sick I was really, really nervous to leave her for a weekend but Brooke was so reassuring and took such good care of her that it made me relax. I will 100% use Brooke any time I travel moving forward!!”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.

About: As young as I can remember I was raised with animals, specifically cats and dogs. From caring for my own family's pets, to caring for my neighbor's pets, to volunteering with local shelters, I am comfortable and experienced with caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Aside from my love for animals, I graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor's in Psychology in 2024, and I am considering further schooling in the future. I worked with community resources for Specialty need and disabled individuals as well as with seniors in end of care rehabilitation services. Last year I moved from Texas to be closer to family while I worked and explored future possibilities. I'm currently working at a bakery part-time and am able to balance my time well. Typically I can expect two to three days of open availability, and I am willing to care either before or after my working shifts. When caring for others pets I always make sure to ask the owners their preferred methods of care as well as any pertinent information I may need to know. Aside from directions, I care for all animals as if it were my own. My cat is a spoiled baby and I love to shower any pets with a similar efforts.
“Mason is so good with our cats. They tend to be skittish around other people but they love him. He is a great communicator and your fur babies would be lucky to have him take care of them.”
“Alexandria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We have some finicky eaters and one who needs meds, and she didn’t have any issues with them. She was also kind enough to take our garbage cans from the curb and get the mail. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Danny and Jennifer have taken care of our cat many times when we go on trips, and they are always wonderful. I love all the pictures and the detailed notes they send after each visit.”
“Ashley was great!! I got pictures & a report card every check-in. She was very attuned to my senior kitty. She is on some medication that can come with side effects and Ashley made sure to let me know what she was noticing! Definitely will hire again. She has a great attitude & even watered my plant while I was away! Thank you so much, Ashley!!”
“Our normal sitter had a family emergency right before the holidays, and we are so thankful we found Kate in time for our kitties! Two of them need daily medications, and we have had hit or miss luck with different sitters (not from Rover) in the past, but all the cats loved her (even the one that normally hides!) and they all seem to be very relaxed and not panicked when we got home this time! We will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends in the area!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities.

I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for dependable walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I always follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable.

I always follow your instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable. I treat your home with respect and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. On walks, I stay aware of surroundings and keep things safe and calm. I use secure leashes/harnesses and adjust the walk based on your pet’s energy and needs—whether that’s a relaxed sniff-around or a more active walk. And of course, there’s plenty of love, attention, and reassurance built in. I’m also happy to clean up after pets as needed so everything stays tidy and stress-free. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, cared for, and at ease while you’re away.

Kayleigh took such great care of my dog during her drop-in visits. She was incredibly flexible with my scheduling requests which made everything so much easier. I could tell my dog really enjoyed spending time with her and looked forward to seeing her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and reliable hands!
We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia. She was friendly, attentive, and took great care of our dog while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure all of her needs were met. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
It is so so clear that Beth loves our fuzzy babies—and they love her right back!!! She is a wonderful communicator and gentle as can be, playing with our two VERY high-energy spaniels. When we come home after they’ve been with her, they’re relaxed and totally unstressed. Thank you!!!
Gloria was absolutely wonderful while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout my entire trip.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellisville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ellisville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ellisville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
